I've never been a big farming/life sim game guy, but something about this game is just nailing it for me. Maybe just the right time in my life to be playing it, but idk dude this game gets it. I find animal crossing super boring and stardew stresses me out because I try to do everything and miss events and never feel relaxed or casual with it. Pretty early on in Harvestella so far, but it seems to not punish aimlessness nearly as much with time-based stuff. Also just feels like it leans more into the squenix/jrpg vibes than the farming sim which is way more my wheelhouse. The music is immaculate as well. I have rune factory: guardians of azuma in the backlog which i've heard is similar, but what other games have this flow? Wanna chase this feeling.

Consoles I have:

N64 Ps2 Gamecube Og xbox Xbox 360 Wii u Xbox series x Ps4 Ps5 Switch Switch 2 Ds 3ds Vita Anbernic/retroid devices Mini pc

What's everyone else playing tonight?

Hi! I'm a longtime collector--mostly 6th gen--and for most of my 33 years I've been all in on ps2 and gamecube. I did not grow up with Xbox or have Xbox friends and the console/marketing did not appeal to me growing up. I was a nerdy little JRPG kid and I felt left out of the tough guy shooter console. A few years ago, I got a series X and tried out some backwards compatibility/halo co-op with my wife and realized that all i did was box myself out of a great library growing up. Being a big CRT guy, I decided to finally get an OG Xbox this year (marketplace bundle came with a 360 as well) and have started a collection for it lately. I'm finding it fun and i'm surprised by how cheap it still is to collect for compared to gamecube and ps2 (for the most part). I've built a small pile that i'm happy with so far, but i'm looking for the deep cuts of the console.

My mostly hard rule as a collector is a $60 price cap, but I've been known to break it mildly for very special gems. I also collect CIB almost exclusively (though I have a loose house of the dead 3 because a friend gave it to me, and the otogi 2 case has otogi 1 in it, not 2. I found otogi loose for $14 and couldn't pass it up and i'm pretty priced out of otogi 2 unless another miracle find happens)

Not a fan of sports games and not a big fan of western RPG's, though dabbling in Morrowind is interesting for me. I'm aware of the obvious titles to get like the KOTR series or gears, but i'm curious what are the deeper cuts that I've missed?

I have a lot of walls, but I really like this wall.

Just a friendly reminder that sony's are great and all, but if you find a philips 24rf50s141 in need of rescue, it's worth your time.

Saved this polaroid ttm-2410 from its 8 year storage locker captivity. Hard to not fall in love after some good cleaning and personality tests.

Raced down on my lunchbreak the second I saw it. Today, I completed the black+white panasonic pair. $45 total, 6 very patient years apart. I can finally rest.
